The cornea and sclera help protect the eye.
If your sclera used to be white but no longer are it may indicate a problem. The only way to fix it is to reverse the problem causing the discoloration.If the sclera is white but you can see prominent blood vessels ( "blood shot" ) then Visine can help.
The dense fibrous connective tissue in the eye is called the sclera. It is a tough, white outer layer that helps maintain the shape of the eyeball and protects the delicate inner structures of the eye.
The outer covering of the eye is formed by the cornea and sclera. The cornea is the transparent layer at the front of the eye, while the sclera is the white, tough, outer layer that covers the rest of the eyeball. These structures help protect and maintain the shape of the eye.
The sclera is double the thickness of the cornea. The center of the cornea is thinnest, followed by the periphery, then sclera.

The sclera can turn brown due to conditions like scleral melanocytosis, which is characterized by an increase in melanocytes in the sclera. This can result in brown discoloration of the sclera. In some cases, it may be associated with underlying medical conditions like hormonal imbalances.
The ocular structures most resistant to direct injury are the cornea (the clear front of the eye) and the sclera (the white part of the shell around the eye). The cornea and the sclera are contiguous.
The sclera is double the thickness of the cornea. The center of the cornea is thinnest, followed by the periphery, then sclera.
The whites of their eyes
The white of the eye is called the Sclera.
The choroid is the vascular layer between the sclera and retina. These blood vessels supply the eye with oxygen and nutrients.
